Chapter 524
"Kid, do you want our contact imprints?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I beg the few Elders to grant this!"
Seeing that there was a chance, Zhu Zhu Dafu was very pleasantly surprised and nodded repeatedly.
He had only been asking tentatively before, and he hadn't expected that there would really be this opportunity.
If he could really get the communication imprints of these few Void Penetration Realm Elders, regardless of whether they could help him in the future, it would at least give him the opportunity to seek help from these sect Elders.
"You can have our contact imprints, but you must tell me which Elder of the sect is behind your Tianfu Shop, how about it?"
Hearing this, the look of surprise on Zhu Zhu Dafu's face suddenly stiffened, and he said with a sheepish smile:
"I have disappointed the Elders; this disciple cannot speak of the matters behind the Tianfu Shop, I ask the Elders to forgive me!"
"Since that is the case, then we will not force you; we will come again when we have time next time."
These few Elders were not disappointed, however.
After all, the shops in the marketplace were all registered and recorded through the Xuantian Sect.
Even if the person behind the shop wanted to hide their identity and information, as long as your authority was high enough, you could naturally know the detailed information of all the shops in the marketplace.
Conversely, if your authority was insufficient, then forcibly making things difficult for a Deity Transformation Realm disciple would be useless, and would instead lose you your own status.
The reason for asking this was nothing more than their curiosity about the person behind the only star-rated shop to advance in three thousand years in this marketplace.
"Is it some Void Meditation Realm Dharma-protecting Elder who has entered the fray? Or did some Void Penetration Realm Deacon Elder get lucky and secretly occupy a newly born Seventh-Order treasure land?"
Carrying the questions in their hearts, the group left the Tianfu Shop slowly.
However, before the few Elders left, there was still a Deacon Elder named 'Sun Sun Nanbo' who left a communication imprint for Zhu Zhu Dafu.
Since the Tianfu Shop could produce such heavenly materials and earthly treasures as Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea, Sun Sun Nanbo still had some expectations for the Seventh-Order items that the Tianfu Shop would list in the future.
It was nothing more than a communication imprint! Leaving a communication imprint would allow him to gain a bit of an advantage, and perhaps it could play an unexpected role at some point in the future; in any case, he wouldn't lose anything.
After these few Void Penetration Realm Deacon Elders left, people continued to enter the Tianfu Shop one after another.
These people were all attracted by the spectacle of the Tianfu Shop advancing to a star-rated shop, which was why they had come one after another.
Among them were those watching the excitement, those who came by the way for procurement needs, friends Zhu Zhu Dafu had made who came to congratulate him, and shopkeepers of other shops who came to scout for information.
But regardless of the purpose for which they came, the massive flow of people caused the Tianfu Shop's sales volume to skyrocket over these few days.
In addition to the sales of a large number of items below the Seventh Order being driven to continuous improvement.
In the period that followed, as the information about the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea spread, Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the Xuantian Sect began to come one after another, drawn by its reputation.
One or two Void Penetration Realm Deacon Elders would appear in the Tianfu Shop from time to time, basically all coming to purchase Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea.
Occasionally, individual Void Penetration Realm Deacon Elders would also take the opportunity to purchase a few Seventh-Order talismans from the Tianfu Shop.
It could be said that after advancing to a star-rated shop, the Tianfu Shop attracted a large wave of new customers, from disciples at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realms, up to Deacon Elders at the Void Penetration Realm, everything was available.
However, among these Void Penetration Realm Elders who came for the reputation, most were Elders whose contribution points were insufficient, making them unable to exchange for medium or high-grade enlightenment-type Seventh-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the sect treasury.
Therefore, for those Seventh-Order Enlightenment Teas sold by the Tianfu Shop, four-fifths of the Void Penetration Realm Elders paid using Lower-Grade spirit crystals.
From this, it could be seen that even for high-order cultivators of the Xuantian Sect, the shortfall in sect contribution points was relatively large.
That is to say, apart from the tasks issued by the sect, the Xuantian Sect acquired such ordinary Seventh and Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were not scarce within the Xuantian Sect using spirit crystals, and it would be about 20% lower than the market price.
Otherwise, Ye Ye Qingxuan would have sold them directly to the sect.
The Xuantian Sect had been passed down for millions of years, and in the long years, the number of Seventh and Eighth-Order spiritual lands born and occupied within the sect's territory was countless, and there was basically no lack of sustainably produced Seventh and Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Except for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures with rare effects, only Ninth and Tenth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures could move the high-level officials of the Xuantian Sect, allowing the use of sect contribution points for acquisition.
Not counting daily offerings, the main way to obtain sect contribution points in the Xuantian Sect was to accept and complete tasks issued by the sect.
This move was to ensure the preciousness and importance of sect contribution points throughout the long years of inheritance, giving those high-order cultivators of the sect the motivation to accept and execute tasks issued by the sect.
In fact, the Xuantian Sect was currently vigorously cultivating Blessed Land disciples in order to accelerate the growth of Blessed Land disciples and drive the advancement of blessed lands.
For the spiritual herbs produced by the blessed lands controlled by Blessed Land disciples, the Xuantian Sect had issued acquisition tasks, making an exception to acquire them with contribution points.
If Ye Ye Qingxuan were willing to expose his identity as a Seventh-Order Blessed Land cultivator and sell the Seventh-Order spiritual herbs produced in the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land to the sect as a Seventh-Order Blessed Land cultivator, he could directly obtain a large number of sect contribution points.
However, Ye Ye Qingxuan simply did not want to expose himself to the public so quickly.
At least before breaking through to the Mahayana Realm and truly standing at the pinnacle of the Di Li Xuan Realm, he would absolutely not let his true self be exposed to the public.
"Hahaha, this Elder has finally broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Penetration Realm."
In a cave dwelling opened up on a Seventh-Order mountain peak in the Xuantian Mountain Range, after a period of spatial distortion, rule evolution, and air turbulence, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the cave dwelling.
This person was precisely the Deacon Elder with black and white hair who had been stuck at the early stage of the Void Penetration Realm for a long time, who had previously purchased Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea from the Tianfu Shop.
Breaking through a major realm would cause a cultivator's lifespan to skyrocket significantly, but breaking through such a minor realm would also result in a certain degree of increase in a cultivator's lifespan.
After a successful breakthrough, it not only represented that his strength had advanced further, but even the time he had remaining for cultivation would be extended, so it was no wonder this Elder was so uncomposed.
"No, such a joyous event must be shared and celebrated with others."
After his cultivation base broke through, this Elder did not suppress the joy in his heart, but instead directly began to contact his few old friends of many years to come to his cave dwelling to gather, preparing to celebrate privately.
As time passed, when the information spread that a Void Penetration Realm early-stage Elder had consumed Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea and had an epiphany, breaking through a bottleneck of over ten thousand years to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Penetration Realm in one fell swoop.
The Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea became completely explosive among the Void Penetration Realm cultivators of the Xuantian Sect, and along with it, the Tianfu Shop also entered the eyes of most high-order cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.
Out of curiosity, many high-order cultivators within the Xuantian Sect began to scout for information about the Tianfu Shop.
As a result, because their authority was insufficient, they failed to scout any information at all. And the less they could scout about the information behind the Tianfu Shop, the more wary certain cultivators with ulterior motives within the Xuantian Sect became, not daring to do anything that violated sect rules against the people of the Tianfu Shop.
After all, if you offended an ordinary shop, you offended it; as long as you didn't let the sect catch obvious evidence of violating sect rules, you couldn't do anything to them.
When Ye Ye Qingxuan's Tianfu Shop first launched the Nuclear Explosion Elixir, it was coveted in secret by many people precisely because of this.
At that time, the Tianfu Shop was only a large shop, and Zhu Zhu Dafu, who was the shopkeeper on the surface, was only at the Deity Transformation Realm, which naturally could not make people feel wary.
But a star-rated shop was different; the birth of a star-rated shop itself represented a kind of formidable strength and financial power.
Before figuring out the specific information within it and investigating the person behind it, even a Void Meditation Realm Dharma-protecting Elder would not dare to act rashly.
After all, no one knew whether the person behind the star-rated shop would be another Void Meditation Realm Dharma-protecting Elder.
Once you broke the unspoken rules and took action against a star-rated shop first, even if you couldn't find evidence of you violating sect rules, the other party could still retaliate in secret.
At that time, if you couldn't do anything to the other party and were in the wrong, you would only end up losing more than you gained, and would have to lose a large amount of your own resources to settle the matter.
Therefore, in the period that followed, although the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea and the Tianfu Shop began to explode in popularity.
But the things that Zhu Zhu Dafu was somewhat worried about in his heart did not happen, and even the shopkeepers of the few major shops that were previously at odds with the Tianfu Shop were now greeting Zhu Zhu Dafu with smiling faces when they saw him.
For a time, this left Zhu Zhu Dafu, who did not understand the ins and outs of the situation, somewhat confused.
However, Zhu Zhu Dafu enjoyed the smiling faces and flattery of the other shopkeepers.
After the Tianfu Shop advanced to a star-rated shop, his status in the marketplace began to rise in a straight line, and even the Zhu family, after receiving the information, sent messages of concern many times, wanting to invite Zhu Zhu Dafu back to the Zhu family for a chat, only to be directly ignored by Zhu Zhu Dafu.
Having dealt with the Zhu family for so long, how could he not know that the Zhu family was also coveting the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea of the Tianfu Shop? Going back at this time was purely looking for trouble for himself.
Even if he went back to show off, he would have to sell this batch of Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea first.
However, the speed at which the first batch of Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea sold out was much faster than Zhu Zhu Dafu had imagined.
After the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea became completely explosive, the remaining Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea was completely sold out in less than half a month.
And this was still because most of the Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the Xuantian Sect were either stationed in various places within the Xuantian Sect, traveling outside, or stationed at the human border.
Otherwise, this speed would have been even faster.
Three days later.
In the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Ye Qingxuan counted the earnings that Zhu Zhu Dafu had just sent over, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
In just three months, the three catties of Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea he had sent to the Tianfu Shop to be sold had already been sold out, and even over a dozen Seventh-Order talismans had been sold.
Just from selling the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea and Seventh-Order talismans, in just three months, the Tianfu Shop had a turnover of 266,100 Lower-Grade spirit crystals and contribution points worth 5.7 Major Merits.
However, the turnover of shops in the Xuantian Sect marketplace needed to be handed over as a commission.
Although after advancing to a star-rated shop, the commission that the Tianfu Shop needed to hand over decreased instead of increasing, it still required a full 15% commission on the turnover.
That is to say, the earnings after the Tianfu Shop finished selling the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea and the dozen or so Seventh-Order talismans, what actually reached Ye Ye Qingxuan's hands was only over 226,000 Lower-Grade spirit crystals and contribution points worth 4.845 Major Merits.
In addition to this, there were countless Supreme-Grade spirit stones.
Such terrifying earnings had already far exceeded the total earnings of the Tianfu Shop for the previous hundreds of years.
"It's just a pity that the yield of the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea is too low."
Looking at the piles of Lower-Grade spirit crystals in his storage ring, Ye Ye Qingxuan smacked his lips and felt regretful.
Currently, the only Enlightenment Tea Tree that had successfully mutated and could continuously transform and grow was the one in the Ye Qingxuan Blessed Land, and after advancing to the Seventh Order, the yield of the Enlightenment Tea Tree was extremely low.
The three catties of Enlightenment Tea that Ye Ye Qingxuan had previously handed over to Zhu Zhu Dafu to sell were already three-fifths of the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea Tree's hundred-year production quota.
Ye Ye Qingxuan was prepared to keep the remaining two catties of Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea for himself to drink.
Although the effect of the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea was already negligible to him, he couldn't help but enjoy it, right? That is to say, for the next time the Tianfu Shop would sell Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea, calculating the time, it would likely take another seventy years or so.
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Ye Qingxuan withdrew his spiritual sense from the storage ring and scanned the contribution points recorded in his sect token.
4.845 Major Merits, plus the contribution points he had accumulated from his previous annual benefits and completed tasks, he now had a total of over 4.9 trillion contribution points.
"Forget it, these contribution points should be saved for exchanging for Eighth-Order spiritual materials when the time comes!"
Calculating for a moment in his heart, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not have the thought of using these contribution points to exchange for Seventh-Order spiritual materials to refine Seventh-Order array diagrams or Seventh-Order talismans.
The batch of Seventh and Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had looted in the Qingmo Realm had already been purified, and he was temporarily not lacking in Seventh-Order spiritual materials to refine Seventh-Order array diagrams, Seventh-Order talismans, or Lower-Grade magic treasures to support the operation of the Tianfu Shop for the foreseeable future.
Therefore, it would be better to save these contribution points first, and wait until his cheap master Cen Zhe returned, then ask his master Cen Zhe to help open the Eighth-Order exchange authority to exchange for Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Xuantian Sect treasury.
After making a decision in his heart, Ye Ye Qingxuan took a step and entered a place where Eighth-Order spiritual materials were nurtured.
Below this place was the skin of a Void Meditation Realm exotic beast that he had buried after purifying the raw materials from the Qingmo Realm through the Eighth-Order Blessed Land Purification Array.
He was prepared to use this Void Meditation Realm beast skin to attempt to refine Eighth-Order talismans.
After all, compared to Eighth-Order array diagrams, which consumed relatively more raw materials, Eighth-Order talismans were much smaller in both refining difficulty and raw material consumption.
One year later, Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at the Eighth-Order talisman floating in front of him, with purple-gold Dao rhymes flowing and rules swirling, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the Eighth-Order talisman in front of him, and Ye Ye Qingxuan was just about to continue refining the next Eighth-Order talisman, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the disciple token hanging at his waist began to vibrate with "hum" and "hum" sounds.
Probing his spiritual sense into it, after checking the information in the token, Ye Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said with slight surprise:
"It's her?"
